Musics.
If you're on my Facebook, you'll have seen me post this video once or twice. Duke Special is... well... very special to me, for a whole host of reasons. If you've never watched/listened, please do. It's one of my favourite songs of all the times, and tears my heart out every time:
Click to viewNext up is Big D & The Kids Table. Matt and I saw them support Reel Big Fish in January. They're currently my most listened to band. This is, according to my iPod, the song I value most of theirs:
This is a live busking version of my favourite Lowly Knights song. Their first EP, The Rifles, has been regularly spun since this time last year. This song is one of my favourite ever, by now. It reminds me of a hundred sad things and a handful of happy things too. And as a sidenote, I just really like this version, because of the wee kids running around having fun - the studio version complete with video is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMF1RrH6AJw
This is another Big D song. This is just a happy happy song that makes things feel like stuff might turn out okay. It's good.
Here's an old Tragically Hip song, but it's gorgeous and makes things seem a lot better, a lot of the time:
And to round it all off, here's a Nick Cave cover by Rea Curran from the same show I started with. Again, it's shown up on my Facebook... but please listen to this. It's breathtaking.
